I just watched a movie called "Across the Pacific" (1942)
with Humphrey Bogart and at the end of the movie there was
a hallicrafters SX-11 or 12 in the scene where they are at
the plantation. A lot of old Bogart movies have cool radios
in them. I've also seen a SX-42 in "Sabrina" and a
Hallicrafters marine radio phone in "Key Largo" .

Hallicrafters stuff seems to have been popular as
props. I've seen S-38, S-40, etc., in various films
particularly from the late 1940's and 1950s. Perhaps this
was due to the art deco cabinet designs. Hallicrafters seems
to have been aware from a very early point that appearance
and features sell even when performance may be mediocre. Its
also possible that their promotion people may have "placed"
H equipment in movies.
